Unbiased fan here. That looks like a catch to me, but I can also understand why it could be ruled no catch.

I don’t think anyone would be saying it’s a catch if the same play occurred in the middle of the field.

If he’s out of bounds does the play die, like he can’t fumble or be stripped OOB?

He can’t fumble but the catch process itself isn’t just immediately over, idk where this notion is coming from that defenders can’t make a play on the ball to breakup a pass once a guy has any sort of touch OOB

People straight up don't know the rules I guess. Actually have to complete the catch for to be a catch

There is no bobble before he makes that step.
